Should You Start or Sit Jaylen Warren in Week 16?
In the Week 11 meeting with the Ravens, Warren got his hands on the ball 13 times (68 yards). Could we see something like that this weekend, thus justifying a Flex ranking?
I’m not ruling it out, but we really don’t have much in the way of positive trends outside of that previous meeting. We know the touch count isn’t going to overwhelm as long as Najee Harris is active, and without scoring equity (one touchdown on 119 touches this season), there’s more risk than I’m willing to take on in what is traditionally a very low-scoring game.
I’d rather roll the dice on either back in Jacksonville or Tampa Bay, understanding that those committee situations have an unclear hierarchy and thus I can fall into a 15+ touch player.
